SAP Engineering Workbench is a great utility to provide the extra value over the traditional offerings in SAPProcesses.
You normally define the Bills and Task Lists (Routings) in individual processes of SAP (CS01/02 and CA02/02).
You define component assignments to Operations and vice versa through switching between the Routing and Bill multiple times.
You however at any point of time, do not get the wholistic view of how your Product is structured and what sequence of steps are executed, what tools are used and which material is used in which step (Operation).
You are prone to make mistakes if you do not make a notes of which component to be mapped to whichOperation or any other relevant transaction.
Engineering workbench provides one interface providing wholistic picture through which you can view the Task lists, Bills and the relations between components and Operations and many other relations.
Changes in integrated manner
When you try to redesign your product you may make changes to the components of one or more products. In particular case of a specific item being upgraded and phased out by another one, the impact is on multiple parents. You may want to make the updates to all the Bills in one go. You are aware the changes can be done through Mass Changes Program. However Mass Changes program can perform one type of change at a time even though it is quite good to make that type of change in multiple bills or task lists.
What if you want to make multiple changes and to multiple Bills or Task lists?
What if you want to make one change to the component in one Bill and another change to the same component in a few other bills?
What if you want to make the changes to task lists while the components are changed (It is quite likely that your operations will change when the corresponding Material is replaced or upgraded to different characteristics)
Engineering Workbench helps you perform multiple actions on multiple Bills and Routings in one view.
In some sort of effective workaround, you can use the Workbench as a Data Extraction tool for Bills, Task lists and other relevant details of Product. You can export the data in multiple formats such as Text files, HTML, CSV and other formats according to your requirements in Data Migration and SAP Rollouts. You may use the text output as a flat file to load the data in other systems. You can use structured presentation in HTMLto SMEs for review and analysis. CSV files can be compiled to the kind of form from which you can derive meaningful conclusions for your decisions. You can share the data with other relevant stakeholders with appropriate Sensitive settings.
